"What is the relationship between our increasing cultural dysfunction and the
uncharted depths of the shadow within us all? What are the mechanisms behind our
cyclical, self and world destroying behavior? What can we learn about our own
darkness by studying the way destructive agency works in biology, cosmology or
information systems? How can we engage in our own personal shadow work to
balance ourselves, therefore balancing the entire culture? The authors of Shadow Tech are engaged in an alchemical quest to understand the
nature of their own darkness, and to develop new maps for navigating the
invisible domain of the psyche. They are also implementing spiritual practices
for clearing repressed toxic energies which empower personal and collective
darkness.Shadow Tech begins with an essay on destruction from a cosmological and
metaphysical view, then moves into deeper waters. The mind is modeled as an
organic operating system, itself a microcosm within a living structure we call
culture. Through the lens of holarchy, known to Hermetic alchemists as the maxim
As Above, So Below, they draw relations between viruses and parasites in biology
and information systems, to the active destructive mechanisms in the human
psyche and culture. Amodel for understanding cyclical destructiveness in relationships that the
authors call "The Victim-Victor Cycle" is presented. So-called "conspiracy
theories"are explored as real world examples of"Cultural Parasitism". Our
intergenerational and cross-cultural destructive behaviors are linked to an
energetic ecosystem of"viral" operations living behind the veil of ego
consciousness. Besides offering novel ways of seeing darkness and destructive cycles, Shadow
Tech documents the authors' personal spiritual philosophy they call Living in
the Movie and effective methods for balancing themselves and raising their own
consciousness. Shadow Tech is a mixture of science, metaphysics and spiritual alchemy." ~ M.F.
